Ona Obra Clásica de la Literatura Mundial

Revisado: 01-02-22

Mi primer idioma es inglés, pero el estilo de Rulfo es claro y directo con vocabulario que no requiere demasiado del lector. Esto dicho el cuento se desvía tanto del común y conocido que a veces es un desafío creer que Rulfo quiso decir lo que yo he entendido.

Como dicen, "Si vale mucho, cuesta." Me costó un poco entender (y aceptar lo leído) pero absolutamente valió el esfuerzo

Me gustó aún más que El Lano en Llamas.

Absolutely a Classic on Investment

Revisado: 08-29-20

If you will read only one book on investing, this should be it. Subsequent editions have absolutely kept it current.
I am a retired attorney and banker, but I learned a great deal. Both the content and the approach were fabulous.
I highly recommend this book.

Bought this for our first cruise. Very glad I did!

Revisado: 01-09-20

Having been cajoled into a cruise with friends (celebrating the a round number anniversary) I found myself in need of a quick education (from the point of view of a newbie) regarding the alternate universe of cruising.

This audio book had a wealth of information, tips, and tricks. It also has woven among the tips a great deal of good humor, and fun stories.

Well played, Sandy Vernon!

Note to author/Amazon: This reader would be happy to buy either: (a) a Kindle Version, or (b) hard copy just to fscilitateto easy re-reading of specific information. The audio book was a great listen, but makes it harder to look back over something I think I read.

Superb Read for Serious Inquiry into Buddhism

Revisado: 10-30-19

This is a very-well written and engaging treatment of Buddhism. Its approach is adapted to the mindset and sensibilities of the western mind.

I applaud both of the authors for the outreach, which is incredibly thorough, but still clear to me (a non-buddhist reader)

I hope that the subsequent volumes are soon made available in audiobook format.

This is an adequate summary for Junior High

Revisado: 07-28-19

Not what I expected. Not only is it written on a seventh-to-eighth grade language level, but the history and culture seem to sugarcoat many harsh realities.
The result is mind numbing pablum that I can't recommend.

An Amazing Story Shared with Profound Perspective

Revisado: 06-07-19

This is the third book I have read by this author. Although I would highly recommend all of them, from the reader's point of view, this may be the best.

I enjoyed it so much that I made it a point to seek out a chance to meet the author on his teaching tour explaining aspects of his retreat experience which is shared in the book's pages.
Interwoven with this story (of his life and near-death experience as a voluntarily homeless person) is a typically direct and clear explanation of spiritual principles.

If you're thinking about getting the book, stop thinking, and buy it.

And, by the way, the Audible presentation is also superb.

Clear and Down-to-Earth Exposition of Meditation

Revisado: 05-31-19

As someone (can't recall who) said : "Meditation :It's not what you think."

Thich Nhat Hanh has lived it. And his explanation (based on a letter from exile) shares how.

Focus is on the breath, based on one of the teachings (sutras) of the Buddha, but useable by mediators of any religious persuasion (or by persons without any religious persuasion).

Excellent Concise Summary of Buddhist Trachings

Revisado: 05-26-19

This summary is old (I think from the nineteen-fiftys) but has aged quite well. I would absolutely buy it again.
